DeNiro's festival recognizes America's premier lunatic

As if "The Big Wedding" were not bad enough, this is the second time this week Robert DeNiro has become an embarrassment.

Fascist, hate-mongering, fired by two networks...well, CNN and Fox News, Glenn Beck, was honored at the fourth annual Tribeca Film Festival Disruptive Innovation Awards.

Beck is being recognized for his work as founder and owner of The Blaze. The Wrap describes it as "a new and all-encompassing media source focusing on the internet and television, that may disrupt the traditional media business model."

Among this year's other honorees are dance legend, Twyla Tharp, Urban Dictionary creator, Aaron Peckham, "Urban Innovator," Sir Howard Bernstein, and Korean pop sensation, Psi. (Sounds like an Oprah panel waiting to happen.)

Jane Rosenthal and Bobby D. -- I'm disgusted with the two of ya's. What were they thinking by inviting America's premier lunatic -- no small feat given the competition -- to a celebration of art and the humanities? Did Beck accept the award clad in his Rommel Afrika Korps hat or does he only don the Nazi uniform at Bund rallies or when gracing the cover of his best selling do-it-yourself hate guidebook?

What is Bobby D. going to tell his children when they ask if the man their father's acclaimed film festival chose to pay tribute to once referred to President Obama a "racist" and likened him to Adolf Hitler?

Disruptive? Definitely. Innovative? Maybe in 1941.
